Benefits of technology

The present invention has the main advantage of improving efficiency and accuracy in a certain field. This can be helpful in advancing the technology and progress of the invention.

Problems solved by technology

Although the human has made great progress in the prevention and treatment of diseases, newly occurring and recurring microbial infections continue to occur, and many diseases are lack of effective therapeutic drugs all the time.
Furthermore, the wide abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics causes a strong selection pressure, so that many strains mutate, resulting in more dangerous drug-resistant strains.
If these bacteria produce toxins, the host will fall ill, such as of cholera, typhoid and pneumonia.
However, isolating bacteria from a specimen does not necessarily mean that this bacterial species is the pathogen of the disease, and thus a comprehensive analysis shall be performed according to the clinical situation of the patient, the specimen collection site, and the species of the acquired bacteria.
However, the detection method mentioned above requires tedious operation and strict sample collection and preservation conditions, but also has a high false positive rate in the test results and a long detection period, which could easily lead to delay of the patient's treatment.
An infectious disease, especially a chronic persistent infection, is one of global stubborn diseases harmful to the human health and life.
It is a difficult problem to treat intracellular microbial infections.
The main reason includes: when the pathogens invade and lie dormant in the cells, it is difficult to deliver a conventional antibiotic to the cells where the pathogens hide, and even if delivered, it is difficult to achieve an effective microbicidal effect at the concentration of antibiotic; antibodies could hardly enter the cells to play a role; and after the intracellular bacteria are successfully living in cells, they could not only escape from the immune phagocytosis, killing and clearance, but also exist for a long time in the cells and lead to disease of the body at the appropriate time (e.g., when immunity of the body decreases).
Salmonella infections or eating foods contaminated with faeces of carriers may induce food poisoning.

Screening of milRNA in Bacterium Infected Cells

[0162]Isolation and streaking for Salmonella strains are performed on an LB plate using an inoculating loop, medium-sized colonies are picked and inoculated onto a LB liquid medium, cultured at 37° C. overnight, then centrifuged to remove the LB medium, and the strains are resuspended with RPMI-1640+10% FBS medium.

[0163]One day before the infection with bacteria, human intestinal epithelial cells HT-29 digested with trypsin are plated in a cell culture dish, and cultured at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 incubator.

[0164]Cells are infected at a ratio of MOI (5-10:1), washed with PBS to remove the bacteria that have not been infected and entered the cells 2 hours after infection, then cultured with gentamicin-containing RPMI-1640+10% FBS, washed with PBS three times after cultured overnight, and cells are lysed with 0.1% PBST (PBS+Triton X-100), and filtered with 0.22 μm filter to remove the bacteria. Through the above treatment, the bacteria that ha...

The Ability of milRNA Inhibitors to Inhibit the Bacteria Infecting Hosts 2.1 In vitro Test

[0178]In this test, for the identified Salmonella specific sal-1, the correlation between it and the target gene inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is studied.

[0179]A target site region capable of binding with milRNA is amplified by PCR, double-digested by Spe I+Hind III and inserted into a pMIR-REPORT luciferase vector (purchased from Shanghai Innovation Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to construct a recombinant plasmid (iNOS). In addition, the milRNA binding site of the above constructed recombinant plasmid is mutated to construct a recombinant mutant plasmid (iNOS mut).

[0180]Furthermore, the precursor of milRNA is loaded to an expression vector with CMV as a promoter, to construct a vector (pre-sal-1) overexpressing mi1RNA.

[0181]The milRNA control plasmid or pre-sal-1 and iNOS or iNOS mut are co-transfected into HEK-293T cells, and the reporter gene is detected, with the β-gal plasmid as a refe...

Use of Salmonella milRNA

[0200]The milRNA of the present invention is used for (a) the preparation of a reagent, a detecting chip or a kit for detecting Salmonella infections; or (b) the preparation of a regulator for regulating the iNOS expression or activity.

[0201]The nucleic acid chip for detecting Salmonella infections comprises: a solid-phase carrier; and oligonucleotide probes orderly fixed on the said solid-phase carrier, and the said oligonucleotide probes specifically capture the milRNA of the present invention.

[0202]The nucleic acid chip for detecting Salmonella infections of the present invention can screen with a high-throughput milRNA probes that stably change in serum, and furthermore predict and diagnose diseases through the overall change of milRNA in serum. The inventor firstly determines milRNA with no less than one copy in serum by the sequencing or quantitative PCR method, then synthesize reverse complementary probes of these milRNAs, and then spot these probes on...

Abstract

The present invention provides Salmonella non-coding RNA and the identification and application thereof. In particular, the present invention proves through experiments that a Salmonella bacterium delivers non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encoded by the bacterium itself into a host cell, generates milRNAs similar to microRNAs by means of a microRNA splicing system in the cell, regulates the immune system with the milRNAs, and further protects the Salmonella bacterium from being cleared by the host. Adsorbing milRNAs using milRNA inhibitors can effectively inhibit the survival ability of the bacterium in the cell, leading to a reduced vitality of the bacterium. The present invention further provides relevant reagents and methods for effective detection of, treatment to and study on Salmonella bacteria or Salmonella infectious diseases.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, more particularly to Salmonella non-coding RNA and the identification and application thereof.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Microorganism is a general term of tiny organisms which are widely distributed in nature, are not visible to the naked eyes but can be observed only after being magnified at hundreds of times, thousands of times or even tens of thousands of times under an optical microscope or an electron microscope. Their characteristics include a tiny size, a simple structure, rapid reproduction, easy variation and strong adaptive capacity to environment.[0003]Microorganisms are of wide varieties, and are extremely widely distributed in nature. A variety of microorganisms are also present on body surfaces and cavities communicated with exterior of human, animals and plants.[0004]One of the most important influences of microorganisms on human is to cause some diseases, especially infectious diseases. Altho...
